Embodied Anachronism: A Que(e)ry Concerning Memory, Mourning, and Christian Praxis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since the publication of Faith in History and Society in 1977, Catholic political theologian Johann Baptist Metz has devoted his academic career to exploring the relationship between memory, whether on an individual or cultural scale, and Christian praxis. For Metz, effective praxis is contingent upon the fostering and dissemination of what he refers to as dangerous memories. Over the years, Metz’s writings regarding dangerous memories have resonated with scholars both theological and secular. In recent years, queer theorists have likewise focused their attention on exploring the relationship between memory and subversive politics. In an effort to construct a more robust framework for transformative social praxis, this thesis brings the political theology of Johann Metz into dialogue with this emergent field of queer theoretical inquiry. Via a critical comparative analysis of Metzian and queer theoretical approaches to subversive memory and the political, this project culminates in the creation of a new queer praxis of dangerous recollection, a framework for Christian praxis that speaks both to Metz’s formative work and to contemporary queer thought.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
